• Six drills (Tally, Dash, “U”, Fishhook, Shark Teeth, and Pearls)
• Letter formation instructions + traceable practice (A-Z, a-z, 1-0; includes some alternate letterforms)
• Five English pangrams to practice spacing and letterforms
• Four non-English pangrams to uplevel that focus on spacing and letterforms (Spanish, French, Italian, Dutch)
• Blank grid page that you can use for additional practice or projects like writing letters

The worksheet is © The Postman’s Knock and is for personal use only. I created its elements using a Pilot G2 05 pen, but I encourage you to use the pen or pencil that you like best. The worksheet is appropriate for children, but it will be most helpful if they already have experience writing in print.

TPK’s Elegant Cursive Handwriting Worksheet offers a solution for people who want to be able to write in gorgeous cursive with vintage flair. All of the letterforms in this worksheet were inspired by “Business Handwriting”, a style from the early 1900’s.

This worksheet is one of the most comprehensive on the TPK site, and it took nearly a year to put together! Each character (A-Z, a-z, 1-0, @) is broken down into its core components. Before you take on practicing a letter, you’ll do exercises that teach you how to make its components. Then, you’ll put everything together to make the letter itself.

The last 10 pages of the worksheet hone in on connecting letters in order to write words. To that end, you’ll practice writing random words with common letter combinations.

Supplies needed include a good pen (budget options include Muji 05 or Pilot G2 05). For a splurge, spring for a Pilot Falcon. Smooth paper is a must, too — 32# laserjet is an excellent pick. *Affiliate links

This worksheet set will take you at least a few weeks to fill out! Give yourself plenty of time and enjoy the journey. Happy writing!

This self-paced Improve Your Handwriting eCourse will act as your go-to for developing handwriting that you’re proud of! The course walks you through several techniques and drills in the thorough TPK style that learners love. The goal isn’t to radically alter your handwriting (it should still represent you, after all), but you will learn how to write with:

• Better spacing – Cross Drills help you to keep the spacing between your letters consistent!
• A more relaxed grip – Thanks to Relaxation Drills, you’ll learn how to write without tension, leading to polished letters.
• Confident and smooth strokes – As a result of filling out all the drills in the worksheet. Confident strokes always lead to impressive writing!

If you don’t quite understand how to do something, there’s a “Discussion” portion under each lesson where you can ask questions! All lessons include a short quiz and homework assignments.
